<h2><a name="overview" class="anchor" href="#overview"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Overview</h2>

<p>scollector is a replacement for OpenTSDB's <a href="http://opentsdb.net/docs/build/html/user_guide/utilities/tcollector.html">TCollector</a> and can be used to send metrics to a <a href="http://bosun.org">Bosun</a> server.</p>

<p>Benefits of scollector over TCollector:</p>

<ul>
<li>scollector uses the HTTP based API, not the older Telnet based API</li>
<li>scollector is written in Go and is more resource efficient</li>
<li>scollector integrates with <a href="http://bosun.org/api#metadata">Bosun's metadata</a> (Units, Gauge/Counter, Description) and allows external collectors to also use metadata</li>
</ul>

<p>OpenTSDB 1.0 uses the
<a href="https://github.com/OpenTSDB/tcollector">tcollector</a>
data collection framework.
This project aims to make scollector the
preferred collector for OpenTSDB 2.0.</p>
